WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Attacking Breakthrough: Last week, we wrote about a Triumph attack that seemed on the verge of breaking out of their slump after a few promising halves. Boy, did they ever. Greenville went right at Toronto from the start last weekend, with a fervent pace from the start that saw JJ Donnelly and Aaron Walker score goals in the opening ten minutes of the match. Walker added a third in the second half, capping a 3-0 win that showed flashes of Greenville's early season form. GTSC faces a tough test this weekend against a Chattanooga team allowing the second-fewest goals in the league this season, but a renewed confidence in the Triumph attack should make for a spectacular match.
Reinforcements: Greenville is hopefully beginning to create some lineup continuity, with a number of players returning from injury across the last few weeks. Even though the club is still without 2020 standouts Lachlan McLean and Noah Pilato, John Harkes' bench had a number of attacking options on the bench last week against to Toronto. As they enter the final quarter of the season, Greenville should be better able to combat tired legs and avoid second half fades, which will be crucial as they push to solidify their spot in the playoff picture.
